A generalized approach for combining state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) techniques together to create a self-adaptive battery monitoring system is discussed. First, previously published techniques and their feasibility for on-line SOC and SOH estimation are reviewed. Then, a method of utilizing SOH predictions to update the SOC estimator in order to minimize drift due to capacity l...

Building maintenance management involves decision-making under multiple objectives and uncertainty, in addition to budgetary constraints. This paper presents the development of a multiobjective and stochastic optimization system for maintenance management of roofing systems that integrates stochastic condition assessment and performance prediction models with a multiobjective optimization appro...

A developing society needs to adapt to change and foster creativity. In the pursuit of continual improvement (e.g., reducing fossil-fuel consumption and waste, better service performance, greater availability and improved reliability), implementing wise maintenanceschedules is essential for contemporary organisations. Several studies of a wide range of Nigerian industries indicate that indigeno...

The concept of advanced maintenance management technique in the field of heavy duty mining machinery/equipment has recently been developed in India. This maintenance concept has the significance of creating a support system for mining equipment functioning. Functional maintenance is one of the most frequently used methods in maintenance management for mining industries. Management of a custom b...
